Sasha Vujacic (concussion) set for Thursday night

Sasha Vujacic rejoined Lakers practice Wednesday and will play Thursday in San Diego -- and play a significant amount if Kobe Bryant sits out to rest -- after suffering a concussion a week ago.

Vujacic needs to do well to make up ground in his competition with Shannon Brown for playing time.

Luke Walton (hamstring) is questionable for that San Diego game but hopeful he'll be able to take part at least in the exhibition finale Friday night in Ontario. Derrick Caracter (back) is not expected to play Thursday night and probably not Friday night; he sat out practice Wednesday.

The Lakers' reserves still had enough firepower without much help from those aforementioned guys to win the practice-ending scrimmage. The unit of Steve Blake, Brown, Matt Barnes, Devin Ebanks and Theo Ratliff defeated starters Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol.
